I did mention somewhere in the forum how I joined. I thought it was this thread so I didn't bother. Just realised that it was in some other thread.
Anyway I was a member of many Automotive Communities on Orkut and had interacted with some of the members who are also here today. One fine day I get a message for "The Automotive India" (by now all of you know who he is). I don't remember the exact words but it was something like "I see that you are an automotive enthusiast". I think I ignored the first message as I didn't know who it was. When another message came, I said "This guy really thinks I am something. Better join and see." Well I joined and there was no looking back since. Meanwhile I was also a member of other website and got banned for voicing my opinion. Even if you are a total novice here you don't feel out of place. Being here from the begining makes me feel this is "MY" forum and that is enough encouragement to keep contributing in whatever way I can. I must also mention again, that it was THIS forum which supported me when I had trouble with my Alto. Thanks to Vibhor and the rest of the team for everything.
